Double bear breakdown on Steemit

I don't have to do this that often but occasionally a sculpture must be broken on purpose and glued back together. This avoids it happening to the customer.

Here is the end result of my creation:

Here I will share the process, starting off with when I "found" the bears or the blocked out stage. The wood is a 3 foot diameter cookie as we call it. Kiln dried white pine is the species.

It was in the kiln for 3 months and although it does a great job drying it. It doesn't take all the moisture out of the wood. So I will let it sit in the sun after the saw work is done:

The back side...

Now for the fun part, breaking it...
I had my lovely Erin record me breaking it into 3 pieces just so I can have a little extra for Steemit. Here's a gif of the breakdown:

I have been having trouble lately uploading gifs to Steemit, hopefully this works.

Here is after I glued it back together:

Here is the backside..

You can see there are still cracks in it, we call this character. It is the nature of wood.

I'll finish off this post with a picture of my creation and my handy little Steemit sign. Taken this morning just before sunrise.
